Curating Edits Review of The Rising Order

Trigger warnings do come in the book, so the reader is aware beforehand of what to expect. The word “gripping” came up a lot while I was reading “The Rising Order”. The subject matter was intense, in the unfortunate scenario we are all currently living in when acts of terrorism can take place at any moment. I did put the book down a few times, to regroup and process my feelings towards the difficult situation Flynn Zarytsky faces throughout this book.

Flynn comes face to face with someone she met in her past, this person is now committing a heinous terrorist attack on the city of Chicago, and the odds of it all will have you glued to reading what happens next in The Rising Order.

Not only is this thriller a page-turner it is also compelling. As the reader you will ask yourself many times how you would handle the situation Flynn finds herself in. As initially stated in the beginning, there is a moral dilemma of saving her loved ones or stopping RED. Wolf also faces a dilemma, the lone soldier has now met his match. He finally realizes he’s not empty inside, but again, that moral dilemma is tricky. Wolf is living a spectrum of good and evil, it is a lot to process but time is ticking literally.
